title: Ventricular cell model (Luo Rudy dynamic model) (Luo Rudy 1994) used in (Wang et al 2006) (XPP)
abstract: A mathematical model of the membrane action potential of the mammalian ventricular cell introduced in Luo, Rudy 1991 and used in Wang et al 2006 is made available here in XPP. The model is based, whenever possible, on recent single-cell and single-channel data and incorporates the possibility of changing extracellular potassium concentration [K]o. ... The results are consistent with recent experimental observations, and the model simulations relate these phenomena to the underlying ionic channel kinetics. See papers for more and details.

Abstract: Cardiac fibroblasts are involved in the maintenance of myocardial tissue structure. However, little is known about ion currents in human cardiac fibroblasts. It has been recently reported that cardiac fibroblasts can interact electrically with cardiomyocytes through gap junctions. Ca(2+)- activated K(+) currents (I (K[Ca])) of cultured human cardiac fibroblasts were characterized in this study. In whole-cell configuration, depolarizing pulses evoked I (K(Ca)) in an outward rectification in these cells, the amplitude of which was suppressed by paxilline (1 microM) or iberiotoxin (200 nM). A large-conductance, Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK(Ca)) channel with single-channel conductance of 162 +/- 8 pS was also observed in human cardiac fibroblasts. Western blot analysis revealed the presence of alpha- subunit of BK(Ca) channels. The dynamic Luo-Rudy model was applied to predict cell behavior during direct electrical coupling of cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts. In the simulation, electrically coupled cardiac fibroblasts also exhibited action potential; however, they were electrically inert with no gap-junctional coupling. The simulation predicts that changes in gap junction coupling conductance can influence the configuration of cardiac action potential and cardiomyocyte excitability. I(K(Ca)) can be elicited by simulated action potential waveforms of cardiac fibroblasts when they are electrically coupled to cardiomyocytes. This study demonstrates that a BK(Ca) channel is functionally expressed in human cardiac fibroblasts. The activity o…
